Törökkoppányi Alexandriai Szent Katalin templom - 7285

In fact, we celebrated our 50th anniversary primary school meeting with old classmates and one of our dear teachers! It was an unforgettable experience!

Historical and multi-architectural church, predecessor of XIII. It was built in the 19th century. Its main features are the Gothic style of the original temple, and the baroque elements of the building part that were added to it later. To the left of the entrance II. The statue of Pope John Paul, on the main square behind the building, is the bronze seat of Gül Baba.

. This village has a long history of trust. It was inhabited by the genus Fajsz after the conquest. After Koppány lost the battle near Veszprém (Sólyon), the residents first taxed Pannonhalma. According to a charter from 1138 (not worth laughing), Villa Cuppan, the provost of Dömös, was given. A XV-XVI. century church was built here. The castle stood a siege in 1542, but a good 10 years later the Pasha of Buda had already made it the center of a Sandzak. The Turks built two mosques here, 11 mosques. The castle was guarded by 123 soldiers (knowing the data of the time is not small). In 1589, Ibrahim aga wrote here to István Piski (Captain of Tihany) a "beautiful message" calling for a duel. (This gave István Fekete the idea to write the will of Koppány aga.) The most bitter story of this age is the story of the last Koppány aga. He was a rich man sympathetic to Hungarians and seeking peace with them. His wealth caught the eye of many. The sultan sent him a silk cord. This meant he was strangled by a marked gate. Half of the dead assets went to the accuser and the executioners. The aga saw the silk cord and drew a sword. He stopped at the entrance to the castle tunnel and fought resolutely for his life. His killers brought straw and choked it into smoke. The aga died, but not in a sheep style, but in a masculine fight. How sad this story is. We visited the wooden statue of Chief Koppány. A strange sight was the rebellious hard-faced figure of the neck above which the church tower towered.
